Why you need to hire a moving company

Coordination

Moving companies have adequate and trained labour to ensure all the processes are in sync. While some are wrapping and dismantling items, the other team is packing and loading. This establishes order and a smooth workflow. Each team member knows their role and hence there is zero confusion.

There is a team manager who directs the teams and keeps time. All the tasks should be done in an assigned duration hence the team works swiftly to avoid delays. The truck parked at a convenient distance is promptly loaded and released.

There is a team which handles the safety and inventory of items. They ensure the items are packed safely and all the boxes are well labelled. They make an inventory of all loaded items.

Know the terrain

A professional moving company has handled moves in the same locality for years. They are aware of the areas with a high affinity for accidents. They use less dangerous routes hence expect zero delays.

A moving company which knows Yorkville will deliver the items promptly and safely.

Straight-forward estimates

Moving companies have estimates that cover all the services you choose. They include:

The amount of labour

The distance to be covered

The weight of the load

Charges per hour

This, in turn, helps you plan your budget effectively. Underestimating your move can result in additional expenses that overrun your budget. The company has insurance included in the estimate.

The estimate also has the option of consolidating loads to reduce the amount charged. long distance interstate moving companies in Yorkville

Verify with FMCSA the company’s licenses and insurance status. Enter the IDOT or USDOT number and view the safety rating and estimate the number of moves a company handles annually.

The company should have satisfactory ratings with BBB. The organization is strict when dealing with consumer rights. It discredits poor service companies and can easily identify fraud. Be sceptical of movers with poor or no ratings.

Tips to make your move smooth and swift

Scope the new premises in advance. Acquaint yourself with the rules and regulations. Confirm the width of paths and doorways such that your largest item can fit easily. Clean the place and note any renovations necessary before moving in.

Begin with rarely used items as you progress to everyday items. Label all the boxes along the sides. Use huge and bright markings for boxes with delicate items.

Pack personal items, clothes and utilities in suitcases, trash bags and laundry bins to save on the number of boxes used.

Switch utilities before moving in. Change your address and update it at I am moving, to reach thousands of businesses.

After moving in, recover by listening to music or taking a warm bath.

Satisfied Customers

“I am meticulous when it comes to everything. At first, I was thinking of just driving all the way to Illinois from New Jersey. A friend recommended me to go to A1 Auto Transport and told me a lot of good things about them. I refused initially because I had filed a 4 day leave just to drive and visit my mother. But things did not go well. My boss asked me to cancel my leave because a very important client asked for an urgent meeting, and the manager could not attend to it. I was hopeless and took the risk of asking help from A1. The notice was short and I forgot I needed to inform them in advance. After a couple of hours, I received a call and they told me they found a way to book me with no extra fees. I am so thankful I got to attend to my work matters. I did not get to see my mother, but the vehicle and items inside it were in perfect condition as if it was me who took care of it. I owe you guys big time! I got one huge deal from our client.”

“The plan was to ship my car from California to Utah. I went through nearly 20 quotes after using an auto shipping site which linked to a bunch of brokers. Finally, I found A1 Auto Transport, a company with its own trucks with great reviews. I was sold. Joe was very competent, gave off the impression he’d done this a million times, and it really showed throughout the transport. He listened to my request carefully, offered me several options, stayed in touch during the transport, and made sure I was happy with everything. Overall, a great company which I would definitely recommend to others!”

“I’m so glad I met you Joe!! A truly fortunate experience. Having to transport a car to Minnesota, I was stunned to see the company, who was supposed to take care of it, just vanish. I couldn’t reach them anymore, like they went bankrupt overnight. However, I was lucky enough to not pay anything, so I simply researched some more until I found A1 Auto Transport. Joe answered my call the first time and we soon agreed on a date and a quote. Unfortunately, I got caught up in work and forgot about it. The order was not confirmed, so Joe must’ve thought I changed my mind. I called him the next day and arranged for a new date. This time, I made a note on my phone and it went well. I replied to his email this time, and the driver arrived at a parking lot down the street on time, as promised. The driver was nice enough to not mention my previous mistake. He delivered my car in just 3 days. Upon careful inspection, there were no scratches or damage done to it during transport. Joe was there along with the driver and they both waited patiently until I was satisfied. Thanks!”

A truly fortunate experience.

“A1 Auto is kind of like your favourite mom and pop pizza parlour, the one you can’t get enough of despite all the new, expensive avant-garde pizza shops that have mushroomed conspicuously across the entire neighbourhood and seem to have taken over the whole world...but not you. Because you value quality and genuine customer service, and know this business understands and works doubly hard to give you your money’s worth. I’ve been using A1 Auto Transport whenever I left California for business: they may not be the cheapest car transporters around, but the sheer professionalism, dedication, and heart they put into their work is just amazing and worth my every dime. I’m probably one of the most sceptical people you would ever meet. I’m rarely convinced when bombarded with dubious, self-congratulating ads of companies that look like they’ve spent tons of money on marketing materials just to lure your average guy in. A1 Auto Transport is the complete opposite of these companies. My car always arrived promptly on schedule, never with a hint of scratch or dirt or damage, and they keep me updated every step of the process. When you’ve found a company whose genuine care for their customers comes naturally, you stand by them no matter what. It’s the most logical thing to do.”

“A1 Auto Transport helped me move a vehicle to Iowa from Houston. I was a bit nervous, no knowing much about such services. Thanks to Joe, I was able to clear the fog a little. He answered all my questions and explained everything in a way that left no room for interpretation. The details were straightforward. I picked Sunday as the pickup date, since I wasn’t at work, and they accommodated me. The truck arrived an hour early, yet the driver patiently waited for me to arrive. He thoroughly checked my car for scratches or anything that might affect the transport then drove it onto the truck. I was given a 2 day time window during which the car was supposed to arrive in, and it got to Iowa in the evening of the first day. The trip didn’t damage it at all. Next time a friend wants to move, I’ll surely recommend A1 Auto Transport.”
